Late Victorian buildings fill almost the whole of the centre of Oamaru which makes it a very attractive area. It was a real joy to walk around the area. However, we failed to get too excited because almost every English town has similar buildings. Oamaru must be congratulated for making a toiurist attraction out of its buildings.

Such an interesting historical area
This precinct was so interesting to wander around. Lots of history to see, read and absorb. Many quirky little shops, wonderful bakery. Flat terrain so easy to walk around. Original building wonderfully and lovingly restored.

What a gem of a town
What a little gem of a town to visit. Beautiful old buildings, quirky shops and art galleries, breweries, penguins and seals to see easily here. What is not to love about this place. Stay overnight here ro ensure you see the penguins which you may even see in the old town late at night. But don't approach them if you do see them. They frighten easily.

Just adorable
We stayed in Oamaru for a night whilst on a 2 week driving holiday around the South Island and so glad we did. Oamaru have really made the most of this area, it's just delightful. It's a great place to take lovely photos. And there's a Brewery across the road when you've finished exploring the Victorian precinct

Favourite place in Oamaru
This precinct was gorgeous. They have maintained and cared for this section so well. It is like you have gone back in time or travelled to England. It is very cute and so many photo opportunities. Cobblestone roads, stonework shop fronts, bunting, eclectic shops, cafes, bakeries, a museum and a steam train to ride on nearby.  Put this on your list for Day #1, it’s lovely.
